So what's up with Genesis and why is it the go-to vs 1Channel which I've found has way more sources for a given show (COPS for an example). I will say Genesis seems snappier but when I try 5/5 sources and get nothing I got bored quickly and fired up 1Channel. I haven't lurked this enough to know, but is projectm/milkdrop not included in the newer releases? I've been running OpenELEC for a long while and when Gotham came around I just never bothered upgrading since it wasn't automatic. Been running XBMC consistently since XBox days, RasPi, Acer Aspire 1000 nettop, Arctic MC001, and lately some Pivos boxes.

Genesis seems to have most things and there are often way more streams. I'm streaming X files atm and there are shitloads of streams.

My server pc is actually connected to my main TV and I use xbmc/smb there, but the other machines use plex. I also use XBMC on my apple tv because I can't get plex on it afaik. 1. Can I get XBMC to use Plex-transcoded video instead of smb? 2. What plugins would you guys suggest for xbmc? I wrote a few simple ones back in the day, but for years I have run nothing but vanilla xbmc. 3. The name 'kodi' sucks so bad.

There's only so many ways you can rotate a square, I believe the diamond shape has been tried before in the past so they're not breaking ground here. Similarly using the letter 'K' as a logo isn't breaking ground either; K-Mart has been doing it since at least 1962, I haven't checked, but I think they predate shutterstock by at least a few years.

My understanding was the use of the name "Kodi" was so they had a 100% unique name that wasn't being used in any other way and didn't incorporate other names such as "Xbox" so that they could trademark it to keep third party sites from using it and confusing the user base. For that purpose, could anyone else think of a name that's better and not as abstract?

I think EMC (Extensible Media Center) would be a decent new name. It sounds like the original so there's some familiarity and it the name tells you what it does.

XBMC is amazing. I need to look into what i was told in the cutting cable tread, using for streaming FREE stuff from online. Right now i use it as my local player to play remote content i have on my network but that's child's play.

I've been having what i think would be best called microstuttering, it's constant and doesn't stop, plays out like a really fast slideshow. Doesn't matter what kind of file it is, 480p tv, 1080p movies. all exhibit the same behavior. Network and buffer is fine, cpu is ~5% or less (i5 3570/gtx 970, 120hz tv). I read on kodi forums that improper sound settings could cause this, and I found my sound settings had been changed to directsound for some reason, changed it back to wasapi. Seemed to fix it, but then it returned after 20-30 minutes. Sometimes restarting kodi will fix it temporarily, but not anymore, even rebooting the computer doesn't. Disabling hardware accelaration fixed it temporarily but it returned after around 40 minutes. It seems like every couple frames are being dropped or something, but O shows no dropped frames, a few skipped frames (usually ~12) but that number never increases. Video drivers are up to date, running the latest stable version of kodi, 14.1. I don't know what else to try.

What framerate is the source content and what are you trying to output it at? Is this on Windows? What decoder is selected in the settings?

Sounds like your framerates may not be in sync between the source and the screen.

Tanbo posted:Changing adjust refresh rate to match video to off seems to fix it. Should this to be set to off if I have a 120hz tv? Not all TVs can support all refresh rates. A 120hHz tv can display 24fps smoothly because 24fps divides into 120 without a remainder. Not so for 60Hz TVs.

My friend just got setup with SickBeard + SABnzbd + Kodi/XBMC on a Amazon Fire TV. He is running Windows 7. When he adds a new source with content, the videos load just fine into Kodi/XBMC. When he downloads new episodes in SickBeard, the episodes won't show in Kodi when he clicks "Update Library". If he removes the source and adds the folder again, the new videos pull in just fine. Any idea why this would be happening? He turned off the Sharing Wizard in Windows 7, he set the drive to have all access to all devices with no password, why would would this issue be occurring? He's also having issues with certain content not fetching correctly from NZB.su - he can search for it on the website, but SickBeard says "No Episodes Found". He's removed the show, changed the quality settings, and copied over the API and such. His settings match mine perfectly, yet he can't fetch the same things I can. Any ideas?

In the end I think I resolved some of it by having the AMD Catslyst software open and when XBMC changed refresh from 60>24, taking it out of full screen and amending it then. It keeps different profiles for different refresh rates. Trial and error with settings in and out of XBMC and persistence seemed to resolve it.

Did you try setting refresh try to change on playback start/stop only? If the refresh rate changes a lot in the middle of playback your display will likely not keep up.

So, I'm running OpenELEC, and I'm trying to get RetroArch to work with sound. I've figured out that putting "hw:1,7" should make sound come out of my TV, but no dice. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm not making fun of you directly, because not everyone would know, but I can't stop laughing after reading this, because it shows how difficult trademarks can be and pretty neatly illustrates exactly why they went with a weird name like "Kodi". As was pointed out a couple days ago, EMC is a giant in the storage technology business  Just about any generic combination of three-letter names/names with "media" in them are going to have that problem. Sometimes you just need to go the "Google" route, which was nothing (other than a made up /maybe not made up number for "a lot") not even 15 years ago.

Yea, had I googled it before I posted I would have seen EMC in the storage business as the first result. So, that was laziness on my part. Guessing they went through a bunch of names before sticking with KODI.

Guessing they went through a bunch of names before sticking with KODI. It comes up a lot in Kodi name discussion, it's not just you - lots of people assume they changed the name because they wanted something more descriptive of what the software does than "XBMC". That isn't the case at all - for one, XBMC by itself already came to stand for "media center" over the years, and for another I don't think the diverse, iconoclastic group that makes up the core development team really cares whether people can figure it out from the name or not. It was really done so they could trademark something, because XBMC could not be, and as a result a lot of opportunists have been piggybacking off the name, or variations on it, often in cheap ploys to drive revenue to their own products. Search the Google Play or MS stores for XBMC for examples The Kodi foundation isn't profit driven and isn't looking to make money off the software, but they are 100% committed to stopping other people from doing so by leveraging the name. There is still a lot of bad blood between part of the core team and Plex even though most of the Plex software products stopped having anything to do with XBMC-derived code years ago for example. And Plex are the good guys of the bunch, compared to a lot of off-shore fly by night outfits. Ixian fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Feb 1, 2015 |
